There is still time to have your baby’s footprint taken to be part of a popular City of Culture project.

Hundreds of new-born’s footprints have been used to create a major artwork, which is hanging in the Hull Women and Children’s Hospital, and now there is a call for any child that has missed out to get his or her memento of 2017.

The finished prints are being made into postcards

The landscape mural is hanging in the foyer of the hospital. Most new babies will have had their prints taken during their first few hours, but now any that missed out can attend a HEY Baby Carousel event so staff can take impressions of their footprints and add them to the piece.

Baby Lincoln, with his mum Charlotte Marshall, second from left, was the first child to be delivered in 2017. He is pictured back in March with community midwifery sister Sallie Ward, left, junior sister Jill Atkinson and head of midwifery Janet Cairns with an artists impression of how the footprint artwork will look when finished

“Even if their babies are now coming up for their first birthday, we will still take footprints of any baby born this year so they can be part of the artwork.”

The mural is being put together gradually in the Hull Women and Children's Hospital

The event will take place on December 20 between 6pm and 8pm and will also serve as an opportunity for women expecting their babies to receive information on staying well during their pregnancy, baby advice and information about giving birth, as well as the chance to discuss birth plans.
